What Are Allusion Blinds?

Allusion Blinds are a contemporary window covering featuring soft, sheer fabric vanes that hang from a discreet headrail.

The unique design combines the appearance of a flowing fabric window covering with the functionality of a blind.

The fabric vanes can be rotated to adjust privacy and light levels. When fully opened, the vanes create a wide, unobstructed view through the window. When closed, they provide greater privacy and light control.

This makes Allusion Blinds particularly suitable for large areas of glazing where you want the softness of curtains without the bulk of traditional curtains.

Why Choose Allusion Blinds?

Allusion Blinds offer a stylish combination of elegance, flexibility and practicality.

Contemporary Appearance

Their soft, flowing fabric creates a luxurious appearance that works beautifully in modern interiors.

Flexible Light Control

Rotate the fabric vanes to adjust the amount of natural light entering the room.

Excellent Privacy

The fabric can be positioned to provide privacy while still allowing daylight into the room.

Ideal for Large Windows

The elegant vertical design works particularly well across large areas of glazing.

Excellent for Doors

Allusion Blinds can be an attractive solution for patio doors, sliding doors and other large glazed openings.

Soft Alternative to Vertical Blinds

If you like the practicality of vertical blinds but prefer a softer, more luxurious appearance, Allusion Blinds can provide an excellent alternative.

Allusion Blinds for Large Windows

Large windows can make a significant impact on the appearance of a room but can also create challenges when choosing window coverings.

Allusion Blinds for large windows provide a stylish way to control sunlight and privacy without overwhelming the space.

The vertical fabric design creates a sense of height and allows the blinds to span large areas of glazing.

Our made to measure service ensures the blind is manufactured specifically for your window dimensions.

Allusion Blinds for Patio Doors

Patio doors require a window covering that provides privacy and light control while allowing easy access.

Allusion Blinds for patio doors provide an elegant solution, combining the softness of fabric with practical operation.

The individual fabric vanes can be moved to one side when you need access to the doors, while the blind can be closed when you require privacy.

Our team can measure your patio doors and recommend a suitable configuration.

Allusion Blinds for Bi-Fold Doors

Large bi-fold doors create impressive connections between indoor and outdoor spaces but can be challenging to dress.

Allusion Blinds for bi-fold doors provide a soft and contemporary solution for large glazed openings.

The fabric vanes create a luxurious appearance while allowing you to control sunlight and privacy when the doors are closed.

For larger bi-fold installations, our experienced team can discuss the most suitable configuration and operating options.

Allusion Blinds for Sliding Doors

Sliding doors often require wide window coverings that are easy to operate and do not interfere with access.

Allusion Blinds can provide a stylish alternative to conventional curtains or vertical blinds.

The fabric vanes can be opened to provide a clear view and access to the doors, or positioned to provide privacy and light control.

Allusion Blinds vs Vertical Blinds

If you are considering replacing traditional vertical blinds, Allusion Blinds offer a softer and more contemporary alternative.

Both systems provide excellent coverage for large windows and doors, but Allusion Blinds feature a more flowing fabric appearance.

Allusion Blinds can provide:

  • A softer appearance
  • Elegant fabric vanes
  • Flexible privacy control
  • Flexible light control
  • A contemporary alternative to traditional vertical blinds
  • Excellent coverage for large glazed areas

Our team can show you samples of both systems so you can compare the appearance and functionality before making your decision.

Allusion Blinds vs Curtains

Allusion Blinds can also provide an attractive alternative to traditional curtains.

Curtains can create a luxurious appearance but may take up more space around the window when open.

Allusion Blinds provide a softer fabric appearance while maintaining the compact operation of a blind.

They can be particularly useful where you want:

  • A modern fabric window covering
  • Flexible light control
  • Privacy
  • Easy operation
  • A clean finish around large windows
  • A softer alternative to conventional blinds

Allusion Blinds for Every Room

Living Room Allusion Blinds

Create a sophisticated focal point in your living room with elegant fabric vanes that provide flexible light and privacy control.

Dining Room Allusion Blinds

Add softness and style to your dining room while controlling sunlight throughout the day.

Bedroom Allusion Blinds

Create a private and relaxing environment with fabric vanes that can be positioned to control incoming daylight.

Home Office Allusion Blinds

Reduce glare and control natural light while maintaining a stylish and comfortable working environment.

Conservatory Allusion Blinds

Large conservatory windows and doors can benefit from the soft appearance and flexible operation of Allusion Blinds.

Allusion Blinds for Privacy and Light Control

One of the key advantages of Allusion Blinds is the ability to adjust the fabric vanes according to your requirements.

Open the vanes to maximise the view and allow natural daylight into the room.

Adjust the vanes to provide greater privacy while still allowing daylight through.

Close the vanes when you require increased privacy and light control.

This flexibility makes Allusion Blinds particularly useful for rooms that receive changing levels of sunlight throughout the day.

A Wide Choice of Allusion Blind Colours and Fabrics

Your window coverings should complement your interior rather than simply cover your windows.

We offer a wide selection of Allusion Blind colours, fabrics, textures and finishes, allowing you to create a look that suits your home.

Choose from contemporary neutral tones, subtle shades, textured fabrics and stronger colours.

Our experienced team can show you fabric samples and help you choose an option that complements your furniture, flooring and overall interior design.

Made to Measure Allusion Blinds

Every window is different, particularly when dealing with large areas of glazing and wide doors.

Our professional measuring service takes into account:

  • Window width and height
  • Door configuration

  • Window and door handles
  • Mounting requirements

Use a mix of warm water and detergent-free soap as well as a microfibre cloth to gently wipe the Awning clean; Then allow time for the fabric to dry completely. We recommend cleaning your Awning at least twice a year; Once before using it in the summer and again before you’ve rolled it up for winter, we also recommend wiping the metal components and fittings twice a year with a soft cloth dampened with warm soapy water.

Can Awning Be Used in Winter?

  1. Our awnings are water resistant and can handle light rain just fine; But they are not designed to withstand some of the more extreme conditions in winter such as heavy rain, wind and snow.
  2. We recommend minimal use of the Awning throughout winter
  3. we also recommend removing the decorative fabric valance and storing it somewhere dry until the warmer weather returns.

Are Awnings Wind and rainproof?

  1. Although water resistant and durable, our retractable Awnings are not designed for heavy rain as this can pool on the fabric and substantially increase the Awning’s weight.
  2. We strongly recommend leaving the Awning fully retracted on windy days or during heavy rainfall.
